The Jaycee Creed

We Believe...

That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life,

that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations,

that economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise,

that government should be of laws rather than of men

that earth's great treasure lies in human personality

and that service to humanity is the

BEST WORK OF LIFE!
